AYURVEDIC SURGERY

Shalya Tantra (Shalya Chikitsa in Ayurveda)

It was Ayurveda of ancient India that pioneered the modern concepts of surgery. Ancient Surgical science known as Shalya Tantra is a vital branch of Ayurveda and embraces all processes aiming at the removal of factors responsible for producing pain or misery to the body or mind.

According to Acharya Sushruta, it is best to use Shalya tantra when the problem with the body is beyond merely medicinal repair. In cases like cysts, abscesses, enlarged lymph nodes, haemorrhoids, kidney and bladder stones, urinary retention, and breast related diseases, he advised to employ the techniques of Shalya tantra. The treatment not only gives faster relief to the person suffering but is also beneficial in circumstances when the internal medicine fails to cure.
